   How do I set the /home directory so that I can save settings and packages and boot up quickly with a live cd?

   Hello danxaz,

   If I remember (I don't use LiveCD for a long time, it's easier with LiveUSB) insert a USB key and boot the LiveCD.
   At prompt (boot:) type home=usb and SliTaz will create the /home directory on it. That's all.

   Oh! I forgot: the key must be formated ext3 with Gparted (it has never worked when the key was formated with the line command # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1; don't ask me, I don't know why).

   Better use fdisk -l to determine the partition you want /home to be mounted on.
   Use home=sda1,sda2,sda3,etc..
   home=usb equals home=sda1 which is not always what you want.
   /home partition has to be formated to ext3 or another linux filesystem.
   If /home is formated to fat32 or ntfs it breaks Xauth login.
